In the Valder Beebe Show studios, I’m speaking with two of the talented singers hoping to make it all the way… Pamela Long (Total) R&B songstresses and Kiely Williams (3LW/ The Cheetah Girls) putting their all into The Encore. BET brings together nine of the most memorable solo artists and girl groups from the 1990s and 2000s to form the ultimate R&B super group in the new original series, “BET Presents The Encore.” With nothing to lose, they have signed on to this one-of-a- kind music experiment to become the next big musical sensation.
